Hauppauge Wintv Hvr950 Install

Has anyone on this forum successfully completed this. I have obtained the driber and firmware for this usb tunder but still can't get it to work. Thanks in advance.

I dont have a TV card on my PC, ... my wife has one on her PC, but its a much older, well supported TV card, and hence getting support and getting it to run under openSUSE was straight forward.

I have read of Linux (and also openSUSE) users getting the WinTV HVR950 to work (inspite of it being a WinTV and not a LinuxTV). The article I read was a solution based upon some fedora users success.

Read this thread:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/li...hvr-950-615265/
which specifically refers to this fedora thread:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/li...edora-8-622668/

Don't over look the Linux wiki on this card:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Haup...e_WinTV-HVR-950

There is also this older thread, but I never obtained any feedback if the user had any success.

If you have read and tried ideas and recommendations from those threads, and are stumped at a specific point, perhaps you could post exactly what you tried, and what your error messages are, and what the symptoms are. Its quite possible I won't be able to help (as I don't have such a TV card, and hence no experience) but there are many skilled Linux users on this forum, and one of them may be able to chime in with a suggestion.

If you succeed, it would be real nice if you could update the openSUSE hardware compatibility list for the HVR-950:
http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/TV_Cards

Sadly, none of the openSUSE users who managed to get the HVR-950 to work, have updated that page.

Oldcpu, thanks a ton for the info, however I have kind of exausted all of those resources. Alot of them end up being semi vague. I do know there is more to the configuration then just those steps. I think "bttv" may have something to do with it also. Any other ideas, or anyone else that can help. Thanks once again!!

Good luck. Without knowing PRECISELY what you tried, nor understanding what appears vague to you, its simply not possible for me to help, especially given that I don't even have this card. Good luck, ... maybe someone else will chime in and understand where this appears vague to you.

Ah, after many trials, I successfully got this to work. I will update the suse TV cards page with how I did it. Thanks for the input!

Fantastic! If you could update the suse TV cards page, that would be great!! If you think there is not enough room there, you could even start a new wiki. If playing with the wiki format/syntax is too painful, please just send me the material you believe should be entered, and I can update the wiki for you ...

Once again, CONGRATULATIONS !!
